WARSAW, MARCH 20.—Every thing Seems tranquil at St. Petersburgh; though the horizon is not yet free from clouds. The 'inquiry into the revolt of the 26th December is nearly terminated. It is said that there have been discovered thir teen principal chiefs, convicted of projects against the Emperor's life, and 240 conspirators convict ed of revolutionary and anarchical plans. How many noble and ancient families, r ho have filled for ages the highest offices in the State, will cover their escutcheons with crape when they see some of their members implicated in such criminal plots ! A Count Michael Orloff, a man of dis tinguished understanding and knowledge, a Sergi Volkonsky, a Bestucheff! Every body waits with anxiety the decision of the Emperor. The Emperor Nicholas will probably embrace the af fecting occasion of the funeral of the late Emperor Alexander to publish a great actof clemency. MADRID, MARCH 23.—The late quarrel be tween some Swiss and Spanish soldiers has had no bad consequences, and has not interrupted, for a moment, the good understanding between the inhabitants of Madrid and the Swiss Regi ments, whose discipline and excellent conduct cannot be too highly praised. The long proceedings against Capa pe have been terminated to the satisfaction of that officer ; of the 17 members who composed the Court, three voted for the penalty of death, six for imprison• ment in a fortress, and the other eight unani mously declared that General Capape was inno cent, and that the prosecution against him could not hurt his reputation, or hinder his promotion. The last opinion prevailed in the Court, which will, doubtless, soon order him to be set at liberty. Colonel Cerberg, who was. concerned in the affair of General La Pezuela, was the defender of Capape, and mainly contributed to his acquit• tal by his eloquence and energy. VIENNA, MARCH 25.—A courier from Lisbon arrived yesterday at the Foreign Office, with the news of the illness of the King of Portugal, and was soon followed by another with the news of his death. Prince Metternich immediately caused the in•, telligence to be commun i cate d t o t h e I n f ant D o ne Michael. This Prince lives in a very retired manner'; he has no establishment, and, as it seems, will remain here for the present.

BR ESLAW and the CAKE-WOMAN. 13aEsta.w, the conjurer, was at one time in a town in Ire land, where he amused himself by a joke, better, perhaps, in seeing than in telling. He. went to a poor women, who sold Shrewsbury cakes in the 'streets; and bought one for a halfpen ay. He broke it, and much to his amazement, and beyond doubt, to the perfect astonishment of the seller, he, on break ing the cake, tbund a guinea in the middle of it. " It is very odd," said Breslaw that there should be a guinea here. Have you any notion my good woman, how it came in ? trouble you for another: • The good woman was so much grieved at the loss of such a prize as a " golden guinea," in a halfpenny cake, that she mused for a while, but at last gave him the 'Shrewsbury. "By (we cannot afford to Swear in print), said Bre slaw, breaking the cake, " this it strange,, here is another gui nea. I'll thank you," said ire, " for a third cake, my old lady : here's the coin." It was impossible on this occasion, ..bowever. " No;"'said the old woman, ".1 m obliged to,yottlo, your custom, but 1 ean't afford to sell guinea-cakes tbr a halfpenny." 'r I'll give you a shilling," said the conjuror. • i tmor e t o i y saktl.the cake-women, " soirrt ItAd,” said Breslaw. ":No," said the old woman," pausing, howaiiiio.Not I t , ' I'll sell no more to you Sir, this day." "Very well," said BreSlaw, and he voksiway. Ile had not turned the corner of the street befort i te beard what they call in Ireland a pillahs—in" English, aloud huneht ; for the unlucky woman had smashed every cake she had i n quest of the enclosed guinea, but could not find one. It would be quite unfair to finish the story without saying that Breslaw threw h guinea to the unfortunate Shrewshury calte.woman, whom his ingenuity had deceived into destroying hit . property. • . COIIIIETT'S DINNER..A 'Dinner having been advertised for the purpose of bringing . IMr. COBRETT into Par liament, about 251) yesterday sat down at the London Tavern, llishopsgate-street. After the • cloth was removed, Mr. COR BETT, who was in the Chair, edified the company, for upwards of an hour, by abusing rouglim o p ge the Pitt and Paper Systems, the Ho rs, and .his Majesty's „Ministers. He, however, gave a f air spec i men of his own Character by his opinion of Mr. Locke upon the laws.— The only pare of which he approved of Was, that Mr.• Locke described Commerce to be, one man en. deavouring to cheat another. That was the system upon which he wished our commercial laws to be founded. He finished his speech by descanting orthis own qualifications, and saying he was no egotiAt. Sir THOMAS BEEVOR addressed the respect able assemblage to the same etrett. A Mr. WESTRAY apolo gised for the Allende of C o l one l J o h nson an d hi s own inability. .. He compared Mr. Cobbett to the lion, and himself to the mouse, that was to work his idol out of the toils. It was with difficulty any thing could be heard from continual interruption. The company began to drop °fiercer the first bottle. NEGRO SLAVERY. Earl BATHURST laid on Papers connected with the State of the Slaves in the Colonies of Berbice and De marara. Earl GROSVENOR having looked over these Papers. did not think them complete. Re wished that an account had been produced of the state of the liberated slaves and of the mariner in which they were or could be so employed, 8,51 not to let the onus of their support fall on the Government. was an ar... gument of those who opposed the emantipation br, slaves that. if they were once made free, there would be no meats of giving them employMent. An experiment might now he made with those slaves who foul been captured at sea and liberated, No as to prove that they might be rendered useful in a state of freedom. Fad BA TERIRST stated that Commissioners had been ap: pointed some time since to inquire into the state ofehe liberated African slaves.' Those Commissioners were now: prosecuting their inquiries, and had made considerable progress. Their Re port, however, was not quite ready, and until completed could not be produced. As to the liberated slaves, they had been placed under the care of the Comptroller of the Customs, which might be called being under the immediate protection of the Lords of the Trevury. The Marquis of LANSDOWN, in ; the absence of a Noble Friend of his, ihe Lord Lieutenant of elm County of Durham, presented a petition froth the inhabitants of a parish in that County, praying for the Abolition of Slavery.'

One individual, Mr. Tuite, would suffer grievously by the canal, which was to cut through eight of his farms, to divide his residence froni the parish - Church, and to obstruct the passage to his house; The lion. Getitleman who supported the Bill was.interested in the Kennet and Avon Cared, and no.adequate ground was shewn for the expediency of going into a Committee, upop the Billet all. As to its pro motieg the union between •i tatol and .London, lie would say that the intercourse of those citiee• was on an excellent footing, and as perfect as need' beat present. He conjured the House to put an . end to the spirit of: teniculatiott which disturbed the property of Country. Gentlemen. BRIGHT supported the Rill as facilitating the convey., ance'ofceals e ehelk, and peat..... The eight farms of Mr. Tuite, , which it wee said would be injured by the canal consisted of nut mere than 850 acres, so that they did not much exceed 100 acres each, !aid were therefore not so considerable in point of extent as one might be led to imae n ine on' hearing them named as eight farms. - They would in fact .be quite as good i'or all the . pur:. poses a occupation, after the establi,hment of the Canal ashee be fore, measure,the north of the coun t y , ' he wisof'opalnion: Ilants,a wouldn (tineotti o tine highly ur Ai! t county of Berks. Mr. MA BLItLY thought it right that the-!louse should be in possession of the real tali; of this case. A Bankrupt Canal offered to make out a case of utility and to prove it to the wit faction of the House. Now, if such a case had been nettle out, he conceived that the suggestion raised upon it ought to be adopted, no matter from what source it carne. Brit in the pre, sent instance the fact was the direct reverse. No case of utility whateeer was made oot, and on the contrary, the bala nce o f evi dence was in favour of the present Thames Navigatima. It would therefore be altogether unjustifiable to interfere with prin. vete property, . . m easure . Mr. Alderman WOOD strongly opposed the. The Corporation of London, he said, had laid out 2 . 02.000/. on the , improvements of the Thames Navigation and he hod the' words of one of the,most opulent residents o f ' Reading for the fact, that that navigation, could not be improved: He therefore Moved that the Report should receive ite 'Mr. 'l'. WI LSO N argued against the inelistir the ground cif :he adepacy ofihe Thames navigation. and the impropriety of interfering with private property,, unlegs a very strong ease indeed was made out to warrant such interference. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE admitted that some privtte intent yetinmee might arise. but certainly not that description of in-. Foovenfence which should weigh against a measureOf etent and general, utility—one which had been under consirlerarion so long back na.since the year. 1704—and one which went to serve ma. teriailp the commercial interests of Ireland, Bristol, Oath, end the Metropolis. He also insisted that' it appenied, - eyert upon the sheaving of the worthy Alderman, that man teditfirolties yet to be. overcome before the Thames Net igation could be brought to perfection. Mr. ST. 0011 NT Nita/MAY opposed the Bill. • Mr. Alder Man THOM PsON observed that many persons had been induced to advance their money on the security of the tolls of the navigable Part of the Thames, and th e consequene e Of this Canal being epithet into effect an d operation, Would tie that these erediture must lose a Considerable proportion of that secutita oieie the faith of which they advanced a very large auto of money trout time.to time.

On the occasion of the demise of the Bishop of Durhion, it ap- Peared to.be tlx law now, dust the ministerial officers of Justice in tile totinty Palatine of Durham, were ipsoffteto pat out of Ofree.

Gentleman concluded by otovieg, that a salary of 5,000/. per annum be paid to the President of ti:c Board el Trade ter the time being. 31r. said lie had no objection to the grant to the present highly gifted individual, whilst . he held the office of President of the Board of Trade, but he war anxious to know whether the salary of 3,01/01. a year, now payable to this Right Hon. Gentleman, was also to he enjoyed by hint whilet he held both situations ? or was the salary of the Treasurer of the Navy, now paid fur doing ahnost nothing, to be reduced to something shout I,OUul, a year, a snin which certainly was equivalent to the full value of the services required of the Treasurer of the Navy. The reduction of this salary might thus very properly • form a part of a fund frain whence the new salary was to come, but he could not consent, in our present coriunercial and manu facturing embarrassment, to the creation of a new salary, unless it were subtracted out of the amount oils Cued created' by the reduction of sinecure eider - les. The CHANCEI,LCHt of the EXeff EQUER said, it never had entered his mind, or that of Isis Right. Hon. Friend, that he should hold both situations. 'llls Right lion. Friend had been, it was true, agent tOIIC time for Ceylon, but that had been given. Satisfied as he was that the situation of Treasurer of the Navy, however, was not overpaid, a reduction had already tfin aken place in the amount of that salary from 4,000/. to 3,41001. 1818; and it was intended that a remit - kne e at the public 'ex. pence in Somerset House should no longer be attached to the Treasurership. The faireet principle of remuoeration was, that it should be alweyst mode in a proportion to the responsi. bility of the office. Ile would remind the House, that whilst a man held this office he.could not make an investment of his • own. property, unless he obtained his quietus or acquittance • from a Public Board who were to invest his public accounts. The principle attempted to be laid dust ii by the I lot. Member for 3lontrose was altogether objectionable, nor ought the liouse when viewing the services of an individual like the ,President of the Board of 'Trade, to regulate its proceeding somewhat. • after the manner of a Dutch auction, or limit remuneration for positives until he could cut and carve out steerage in one office or anoth er w hi c h s h ould be equivalent to the proposed remuneration. Mr. ('A I..CRA k"r subscribed to the opinion, to genera i lly prevalent, that no Seirant the Crown di sc h arge d hi s duty t o' the State with more ability or integrity than the - Right lion. 'President of the Dotted of Trade; but he could not but look. with some suspicion on the mode now adopted by the - Right Hon. Gentleman for creating,a new well.paid office of 5,060.1., which the Minister could present to any Political friend or adhe. rent. The whole truth was, this was a cover for increasing the patronage of the 31inisters at. the Crown, and, should therefore !be regarded with suspicion. There were other reasons why. he ',hetet' be i n di s p ose d to accede to the Resolution. There was nothing incompetent in the performance of the duties of both situations : in fact it was only necessary the person should re side in town. Mr. Secretary I ientlas had, when actually Ali nister of this; Country. fillet! the office of Treasurer of the Nevy. Indeed of so little import was it thought who tillrt.f• dust post, that it had even beesi filled by tht' Speaker of the House of Gammons. Unless, therefore, the itf - solutions were differently sloped; so as to obviete Isle objections to it in a con etitutional point of view , he 'Wald certainly opposes the Rem). lotion when put to the vote. ' Mr. ROBETSON s.dtl he regretted to find that this motion • had been brought tin this evening without clue notice. The eon ducfof the President - of the Board of Trade was not in his opt. Ilion such as should induce the House to sanction this resolu thin. He saw little wisdom in it and certainly no novelty ; fur he had taken most of his hints from his political opponents -- Indeed it was altnoet impossible for . him not to suspect some. thing emistewhen he thund that Right Hon. Gentlemen in June last recorrintentling the incorporation by charter of a. Silk - Come parry, which was altogether a fallscious :scheme in his mind.-- ern whiels that Right Hon. Gentleman appeared moment its patrons and !subscriber*. Now if this wee taken conjointly with the fact, that the lion. Member for 'Taunton wait also a. sub scriber to this scheme, and soon lifter was discovered voting' dird the Right lion. the President of the .Board of Trade should have an enlarged salary, then he 'nun confess that his sespectedthe probable profits of the Company might have the grant of a Charter so tinpreeetiented. Mr-BARING should nut take the slightest votice of what had fallen from the lion.. Member opposite am to Isis qwn conduct or motives; but la! was particularly anxious to bear testimony to the ability and intelligence of the Right lion. Gentleman who wile the subject of the Resolution. Ile never witnessed‘a case in which the liberality of the country' would be better be stowed than in the cageof the Right Hon.. President of the Board of Trade. On the other point he should. only observe, that the establishment oldie Silk Company by Charter was expected to render considerable service to some classes of the community, particularly , its Ireland. To th a t *chortle he heti been i n d uce d to lend Isis natne and a subecriptionof2ool, The Right ilon.Oentle man alluded to had not even subscribed, but through benevolent motives lent his name tot a Member of Government. '• What common object of pin could both have had when one haute :share and the other a &here so very small. Beside., he could pledge himself' that be never had spoken. to the Right Hun. Gentleman on the subject of the Silk Company. As respected his own feeling, he certainly could not entettein nn oitjeetam to the resolution for•a moment. The abolition of sinecures he bad always advocated, but he mill felt strong)) , the nereseity'ef paying liberally all efficient officers of the Crown: This ob.: elided the possible interference out of doors :that these were of that rinse which tended to .ewelt the .liets eineeuting.
